HackOS 2: An AGI Hackathon this Nov. 9th!
This upcoming Saturday (Nov. 9) at McGill & Waterloo, we’ll be hosting a one-day AGI hackathon, HackOS 2- sponsored by Rootly! We’ll be hacking models for AGI alongside Arc Prize, which is happening during the same weekend.
If you want to submit to Arc Prize, please register by Nov. 3rd on Kaggle (I realize it’s a bit tight of a deadline, I just realized this earlier today after seeing Arc Prize’s tweet) - though it only takes 2 minutes! (We’ll also be running a collaborative paper initiative for a cookbook on Arc)
Feel free to invite all your friends, signups are open for HackOS 2 on Luma!
